[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Kicked out” “as an adult” seems like an oxymoron. How long do you expect your parents to coddle you? It’s more like becoming an independent, self sufficient adult. [/quote] My thoughts as well. Rather than “kicked out” isn’t it called “launched”? My friends and I all had jobs and apartments after we graduated. I guess some parents coddle and create long term codependent relationships with their adult kids but that seems abnormal to me. [/quote] I “launched” at 17. There were sone pretty difficult years of living in rented rooms in disgusting group homes (think no working toilet, utilities cut off, and a curtain to delineate your “room”) and working 30 hours a week during college and 80 hours a week summers and breaks to pay rent and tuition and then continuing to live like a poor student for many years after grad school to pay off loans. If that’s “normal”, I’m happy for my kid to not be normal. [/quote]
